"The Emperor is dead!" Hu Xiaotian's plain words shocked Su Yuchi beyond measure. Su Yuchi's first reaction was that Hu Xiaotian was lying to him, but when he came into contact with Hu Xiaotian's firm and trusting eyes, he already understood that Hu Xiaotian would not take this kind of approach.
Things deceive yourself.
Su Yuchi shook his head. Although he did not speak, he was desperately denying Hu Xiaotian's words.
Hu Xiaotian said: "There is no rebellion in Longting Town, but Princess Yongyang needs a reasonable reason to ascend the throne. Since the founding of Dakang, there has never been a precedent for a woman to ascend the throne. She wants to clear the obstacles and win people's trust."
, there must be a sufficient reason. Longtingzhen was originally the best successor to the throne. Getting rid of him will not only clear the obstacles to the throne, but also give the world a sufficient reason. Unfortunately, I also
They regarded it as one of the obstacles to progress, so they were charged with colluding with Longting Town to conspire to rebel."
Su Yuchi murmured: "If the emperor passed away, why didn't any news come out from the palace?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "The time is not yet ripe, and the imperial mausoleum has not yet been built. Considering General Su's connections, Princess Yongyang is already in charge of the current government affairs."
Su Yuchi knew about this. He looked at Hu Xiaotian with suspicion and said, "Since you have known about this for a long time, why don't you tell the world?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "The matter has become a fact. If I spread the news of Long Xuanen's death now, Dakang will definitely fall into an internal melee and fight. The unlucky people are the people. The people of Dakang are already miserable enough.
Why should I add fuel to the fire? If it were you, would you do that?"
Su Yuchi remained silent.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. Qiqi will most likely be wiser than Long Xuanen as emperor. If I have to choose between the two, of course I will support her, but it's a pity that she
But they regard me as a stepping stone." A helpless smile appeared on his face.
Su Yuchi said: "It is a serious crime to usurp the country and commit rebellion! Anyone who can find it will be punished!"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Dakang has been fighting for the throne one after another in recent years. You sing and I will appear on the stage. It's just that everyone is eyeing the throne and wants to be the emperor. But in the end it is the common people who are unlucky. General Su knows
I don’t know what my responsibility is? It’s to protect my family and my country, but I’m not the emperor who protects the capital.”
Su Yuchi said: "Master Hu, please tell me what you think." He also saw that Hu Xiaotian's real intention of coming here this time was to convince him, hoping that he would stand on a united front with him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "General Su is a cheerful person. This peace negotiation is for the well-being of the people. This year's autumn harvest is very important to you, as well as to me. Therefore, I agree with General Su's proposal without any conditions."
Armistice. Ensure smooth harvest this autumn."
Su Yuchi nodded and picked up the wine glass in front of him. In fact, his biggest concern was Hu Xiaotian. As Hu Xiaotian said, if Xingzhou Guo Guangbin came to rob during the autumn harvest, there was no guarantee that Hu Xiaotian would not stab him in the back.
Hu Xiaotian was not in a hurry to drink, and said softly: "It's just that I always think that General Su's proposal is not a long-term solution. If you want to really get the people out of dire straits, you have to find other ways." Hu Xiaotian did not explicitly let Su Yuchi fall.
To his own camp. With Su Yuchi's mind, it should not be difficult to understand what he meant.
Su Yuchi said: "No matter what his position is, Su will thank Mr. Hu on behalf of the people here." He has changed the title of Sir to Mr. Hu. Hu Xiaotian is already a rebellious minister of the great Kang. Naturally, he no longer has an official position. Su Yuchi had previously called him Sir.
It's just polite, and now being called Young Master seems to be a downgrade on the surface, but in fact it's out of respect for him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Master Su, there is no need to thank me on behalf of the people. In my heart, the status of the people may be more important than yours. At least when it comes to the choice between protecting the court and the people, I will definitely choose the latter." Hu Xiaotian drank with him.
a glass of wine.
Su Yuchi said: "Su never dared to forget to protect his family and the country. But only when there is a country, there is a family. If Dakang dies and the people become slaves of the country, how can there be a home? This Dakang is the country of the Long family.
Su will definitely defend to the death."
Although his words were impassioned, Hu Xiaotian was not moved at all. He just thought that Su Yuchi was too pedantic in this regard. However, due to the limitations of the times, most loyal ministers were like this, and it was difficult to change it in a short time.
their concepts.
Hu Xiaotian did not intend to stay in Heisha City for a long time. Now that everything had been said clearly, all that was left was for the four parties to hold talks and sign an agreement together tomorrow. Hu Xiaotian stood up and left.
Arriving outside Guanlan Tower, Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan got on their horses and turned around to look back. Except for Guanlan Tower, which was still lit, most of the entire Heisha City was immersed in the vast night. Not only did the night not make people feel quiet and peaceful
, but it gives people a sense of loneliness and desolation. Heisha City is obviously incomparable to Dongliang County and Wuxing County under Hu Xiaotian's rule.
Huo Shengnan said: "Is the negotiation done?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Hu Xiaotian's lips: "I just want to ensure the harvest this autumn, let's talk about it when we get back!" The two of them rode out of Black Sand City with their whips in full swing.
While galloping along the boulevard leading to the camp, Hu Xiaotian suddenly raised his right arm to signal Huo Shengnan to slow down. Xiao Hui's two long ears suddenly stood up in alarm.
At the same time, Huo Shengnan felt that something was wrong with the situation ahead. She took off her long bow from the saddle, clasped an arrow on the bow string, and aimed the bow like a full moon at the tree crown ahead.
But Hu Xiaotian waved his hand to signal her not to act in a hurry, and said in a loud voice: "Friends on that road? Since you are here, why don't you dare to show up to meet me?" He judged from the subtle breathing around him that the number of the other party was about ten.
Above all others, and judging from the frequency and rhythm of breathing, all of them are masters.
Thirteen men in black slid down the tree trunks to the ground like wisps of blue smoke, blocking their way forward.
Hu Xiaotian looked at the group of people in front of him with a smile, and said to Huo Shengnan via voice transmission: "Shengnan, just cover for me."
Huo Shengnan nodded. She had excellent archery skills and was suitable for long-range attacks. Melee combat was indeed Hu Xiaotian's strength.
After the thirteen men in black landed on the ground, they immediately formed a long formation like a wild goose and rushed towards Hu Xiaotian, clang! clang! clang... Thirteen bright long swords were unsheathed one after another, shining in the dark night.
.
Hu Xiaotian patted his waist with his right hand, and the long knife on his waist let out a long roar like a dragon's roar, ejected from the scabbard, and drew a bright arc in front of Hu Xiaotian, and Hu Xiaotian's body also jumped from the horse.
Soaring up from his back, he made a turn in the air, and his right hand had already grasped the handle of Po Feng's knife. Using the momentum of the flip, he slashed forward with the knife, where the leader of the wild goose formation was.
Thirteen rays of sword light condensed in a short period of time, gathering together like a tent. The sword light enveloped the bodies of the thirteen men in black. The thirteen rays of sword light condensed together, and the wild goose-shaped array turned into a circle array, connected end to end.
.
Hu Xiaotian's sword hit the center where thirteen rays of sword light gathered. With a bang!, the sword energy and the sword light collided, making an earth-shattering sound. The huge air wave caused radiated to the surroundings, causing sand and rocks to fly for a while.
The grass and trees seemed to be swept by a strong wind, the green grass fell and the branches swayed.
Hu Xiaotian felt his arm shake violently. He used the force of the opponent's rebound to fly up more than three feet and landed on a tree branch in the air. His body rose and fell with the swing of the branch. He did not expect the opponent's counterattack.
The power is so powerful.
Looking down, he saw that the thirteen swordsmen had changed their formation again. Eight people were squatting around the outer circle, with their swords pointing around, like sunlight radiating. Four people were standing in the inner circle, with their swords pointing at a 45-degree angle into the void.
One person in the middle stepped on the shoulders of the two of them, pointing his sword directly upward.
Hu Xiaotian saw the strange movements of these people and had already judged that what these thirteen people had set up was a mysterious sword formation. If it came to fighting alone, none of these people would be his opponent, but when everyone joins the flames,
High, through the combination of the sword array, the thirteen people actually exerted ten times or even a hundred times the combat effectiveness.
Huo Shengnan looked at the right time, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and wham! An arrow shot towards the opponent's camp. Hu Xiaotian passed the sun-shooting scripture to her. They practiced together. After practicing, Huo Shengnan's internal strength has improved several times compared with the past, and she
Having understood the secrets of the archery skills of Luoying Palace, he has now stepped into the stage of using arrows to control the air. The arrows fly towards the opponent's camp at an astonishing speed. The moment the arrowhead is shot, the invisible space in front collapses, and the arrowhead fills the space.
After breaking through a narrow gap, the energy contained in the arrow body was continuously activated as it traveled. When approaching the sword formation, the lethality centered on the tip of the arrow had radiated to a three-foot radius.
The eight swordsmen in the outer circle faced each other with their swords, as if four petals of cold light bloomed around them. The sword energy was inspired from the edges of the petals. At the same time, the four swordsmen in the inner circle placed their sword tips on this
From the top of the four petals, the cold sword light spread out, forming an invisible barrier in front of them.
The arrow shot by Huo Shengnan hit the top of the barrier. After the tip of the arrow hit the sword energy barrier, it could no longer move forward. Even so, the sword light also fluctuated when it hit. The moment the sword formation shook, the center
The swordsman's body was shot upwards like lightning by the force of the earthquake. The sword and man merged into one, and the light of the sword was like a comet piercing the sky, and it went straight towards Hu Xiaotian.
Hu Xiaotian secretly sighed at the exquisiteness of the sword formation. He also swooped down in the air and stabbed the opponent with the long knife in his hand. The tip of the knife was facing the sword light. With his internal strength, he should not have any difficulty in knocking down the opponent.
However, things turned out to be beyond Hu Xiaotian's expectation. Before the swords collided, the opponent had already turned and fell to the ground. As he fell, four rays of light rose from the ground and went straight to stab Hu Xiaotian at the same time.
